Hastings to Rye via Winchelsea

Difficult
Departure from Hastings (East Sussex)
Lovely walk from Hastings to Rye, passing by Pett Level and Winchelsea, accessible by train to Hastings.
Really nice views from Hastings to Pett Level following the cliffs, but then it gets a bit repetitive between Pett Level and Winchelsea. A lot of fields to cross (including harvesting ones), especially after Winchelsea, so I really recommend having the GPX to follow the official "trails".
Sussex Coast Path - Hastings to Eastbourne

7h 35
Difficult
Departure from Hastings (East Sussex)
Coast route following the proposed route for the England Coast Path. A very typical English seaside walk passing through the resorts of Hastings, St Leonards and Bexhill to end at Eastbourne. There is plenty of promenade walking with some beach walking. The beach is predominantly shingle throughout which makes it hard going. Because of this the section around Normans Bay and Pevensey Bay uses the coast road behind the coastal embankment to make it easier going. The ends of the walk are linked by the railway making for a very pleasant one day sectional walk.
